If the bone is not healed at 7 months, it is a matter of concern. You may need removal of screws from nail on one side of fracture. This process is called dynamization. I need to see sequential X rays to understand the current situation and decide further course
Next Steps
Get fresh x-ray and show me your previous x-ray as well
